“We are still not producing offensively,” lamented Fury head coach Michael Demakis. “We are not putting teams away and we are giving them hope that they can get a result.”

“I was not pleased with the way our usually excellent defense played tonight,” Coach Demakis continued. “We gave NYAC way too many opportunities for free looks at our goal. But I was pleased with goalkeeper Jackie Gates, who was solid in net.”

The Smithtown resident made eight saves in goal. The Fury awaits the results of the other regular season matches this weekend to determine their playoff pairing.
